Everyone is aware of more electricity bills due to high tariffs and variation of tariff with respect to different slab rates( for example 0-100 units the tariff may be Rs 3/- , and from 101 units it may be Rs 5/- etc.) . For proper usage of appliances first it is advisable to understand your appliances and then identify your power guzzlers.Definitely all the appliances in home does not consume equal amount of power. There are many factors to be considered viz. hours of usage, type of appliance, star rating of appliance, energy efficiency of appliance etc.
understand your Appliances:
To keep a track and manage your power consumption, You have to understand how much energy each of appliance consumes.The best way to minimise your power consumption is by estimating the power consumed by these appliances.
- Star rating: Consider the appliance star rating. Every appliance contains star rating (Appliance star rating allocated by Bureau of Energy Efficiency(BEE)) depending on the appliance energy efficiency. Currently 1 star to 5 star rating appliances are available. More the star rating more the energy efficiency and lower the power consumption.
- Choose proper type of appliance: The brands of various appliances may release different types of models and the power consumption varies accordingly. Chose the appliance which is a best compromise between your usage pattern and power consumption.
- Use slashbill Calculators: Use our slashbill calculators to estimate the power consumption, and electricity bills by considering the various types of all applainces.
- Change your usage behaviour: You can save good amount of power and so the electricity bills just by changing your usage pattern. For example use LED bulbs instead of incandescent and CFL bulbs and use ceiling fans along with air conditioner so that one can operate the AC at little more temperature so the energy consumption can be reduced.
- Upgrade to energy efficient appliances: Energy efficient appliances requires initially little high investment but one can reap the fruits in the long run with respect to lower electricity bills and long life of aplliances etc.

Locate your power guzzlers:
Slashbill energy calculators helps in estimating the power consumption and electricity bills. These calculators helps in locating the power guzzlers (appliance which consume high amount of power) and which appliance is reason for your highest spend towards electricity bills.
The power consumption not just depends upon type of appliances, it also depends upon hours of usage. For example a normal CFL bulb of 25 watt used for 10 hours per day consumes 0.25 units of electricity per day, where as an 1 ton air conditioner can consume nearly 1.7 units of electricity per hour and it may vary with respect to star rating appliance( i.e. 1 star to 5 star appliances, more the star rating lesser the energy consumption)
Many calculators and services are available to all our users at slashbill, but for personalised analysis and additional tools(To estimate the power consumtion of motor pump, toaster,induction cooker,electric rice cooker, mixer and grinder and micro wave oven etc.) do sign-up.
